Tesla's Cybercab has obtained a Certificate of Conformity from the EPA, clearing a regulatory step for the autonomous robotaxi. The certification confirms compliance with federal and California emissions standards as a zero-emission vehicle. Public documents also disclosed technical details including weight, battery size, and range.
The EPA issued the certificate on May 26, 2026, with an introduction into commerce date of May 29. The filing covers federal Tier 3 Bin 0 standards and California ZEV requirements.
The Cybercab is a front-wheel-drive vehicle with a single 163 kW motor rated at 219 horsepower. It uses a 326-volt architecture and a lithium-ion battery pack of approximately 48 kWh. The curb weight is 3,113 pounds with a GVWR of 3,730 pounds.
Unadjusted EPA range tests showed 418 miles combined and 375 miles on the highway. Tesla has targeted around 300 miles of real-world range. The vehicle lacks a steering wheel and pedals and relies on Full Self-Driving software.
Production is underway at Giga Texas, with over 100 units observed in outbound lots and testing fleets appearing in cities including Dallas and Seattle. Additional state permits are required before public autonomous rideshare operations can begin.
